What has happened to Lindsey Graham in the three years since this tweet? What has he or Congress done to stop interference by the Russians or anyone else in or elections?

Lindsey Graham...

A true profile of GOP courage.

I never saw a politician change so drastically, right now it sounds like he is creating sound bites for his reelection campaign.

His flip flopping is at the core of who he is -- he's spineless and an idiot.

Not because he is a Republican.
But because he has no integrity. He has no values/principles except -- get me re-elected.

Funny thing -- he has won in South Carolina with HUGE margins.

Right now the Democrat running against him is within 2 points of him in the polls. Yes yeah - -means nothing -- BULL @#$%. There will be buckets of money thrown into the district from the RNC...but the fact that, in spite of bending his knees to Trump (yes both of him -- yes I did say that).....he is losing points in his own district.

I don't think there is a chance a Democrat can win against a Republican in that district.....but getting close -- is enough of a slap in Graham's face. Maybe he will get it.

It's puzzling.

At one time I was impressed by the guy. I am not from his state but when he rose to national prominence I thought he might make a decent president, I did think he had integrity, and he could have won my vote under the right circumstances.

But now I don't even recognize the man, at all. I can't fathom how he got from there then to here now.

I did not realize his Senate race was so close. Interesting even uf it's a long way out until November. Here is a old clip of Lucid Lindsey

Wasn't it the left saying it couldn't be done? Especially Obama!


Besides, acknowledging they try and saying Trump was working with them are two different things. Of course the Russians, and many other countries try to influence elections the USA does this too.


Fact is though any influence the Russians may have was dwarfed by the MSM, Hollywood, FBI, CIA and the deep state creatures attempts.


So they bought a few ads and made some FB posts...

The Mueller Report and various reports from the Senate have been out long enough for you to know the Russians did not just buy a few ads. You choose not to see it or believe it. That's on you

What about the Saudis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_..._United_States Nations all over the world, rich individuals all over the world who are not American citizens buy influence in American politics, never mind the elections. There's not a politician in America not up for sale.

We blame everything on Russia? Seems kind of strange doesn't it? Maybe it's because Russia doesn't pour 100s of 1000s of dollars into the politcians coffers? I can't find anything about Russia buying US politicans. There must be something somewhere you would think? I know there is business done between the countries.

This crap is really a waste of time. It's lunacy.
